Nanoscience and Nanotechnology: Environmental and Health Impacts

This comprehensive book covers various aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology and what is known about the potential environmental and health impacts. Divided into three main sections, the book addresses the toxicity of nanomaterials, fate and transport of nanomaterials in the environment, and occupational health aspects of nanotechonology.

Vicki H. Grassian, PhD, is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Iowa. She currently directs the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Institute. The National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency, Army Research Office, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health fund her research on nanoscience and nanotechnology in environmental processes and human health. In addition to journal articles, Dr. Grassian has contributed to the Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and edited the book Environmental Catalysis. Dr. Grassian chaired the symposium "Nanoscience and Nanotechnology: Environmental and Health Impacts" at the 25th annual meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.

"Vicki H. Grassian's book is a one stop source that introduces
the reader to a broader representation of nanoscience and
nanotechnology and its impact on the environment." (JOM Book
Review Program, March 2010)

"Dr. Grassian's book is a useful compilation of in-depth articles
… .A well-balanced book suitable as a useful addition to the
personal library of any environmental engineer and manager involved
in nanomaterials research." (Journal of Environmental
Quality, September 2009)
